 * Just tried activating the plug-in and received the error below. Never had this
   issue before. Using WP 4.7.3.
 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
    Parse error:
   syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION, expecting ‘)’ in /home2/donctfca/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/wp-mailto-links/wp-mailto-links.php on line 23
